world to explore
lyrics by gregory brown & mista cookie jar

(mista cookie jar)

well...
i was born in georgia, grew up in alabama.
now that’s way down south with that country grammar.
we play in the backyard, filipinos getting tanner
wit my 2 pretty sisters and they both named anna
on da ant hills, equipped wit my plastic cup
collecting crystals, rocks & bugs. worms & stuff.
so git git in tuned to mama nature’s creation
you just gotta turn on your imagination.

(greg & kids)

with a world to explore right out your own back door,
there’s no need for sitting on your butts no more,
so go ‘n take a look right out the window of your kitchen,
there’s no need for turning on your television…

(mista cookie jar)

boys and girls mista gregory brown

(greg)

when I was just a boy the world around me was a joy,
cuz everywhere I took a look and wrote a story, see,
once I made a river raft and floated to the sea, all the
sawyers and the huckleberries followed me…

and then I made a pirate ship complete with sails,
took each and every last seven penny nail I
had to build it super strong so that we could sail on
scallywags ‘n all, land ho!

with a world to explore right out your own back door,
there’s no need for sitting on your butts no more,
so go ‘n take a look right out the window of your kitchen,
there’s no need for turning on your television…

with a world to explore right out your own back door,
there’s no need for sitting on your butts no more,
so go ‘n take a look right out the window of your kitchen,
there’s no need for turning on your television…


(greg & mista cookie jar)

so hop aboard the ship of lost and found
and follow these two gypsy twins around
we'll navigate the 7 seas of sound
the music of true friendship will never run aground

(mista cookie jar)
ya catch a creole cat fish with ya cat by the swimmin pool
find a fountain of youth in that old dog drool
(greg)
discover a new way to dig to china
build bigger great wall to hide behind
(mista cookie jar) ya hop a green dragon fly to the amazon
(greg) climb kilimanjaro with ya slippers on
(mista cookie jar) find some old roman ruins in ya mama's garden
(greg) and some shrunken heads in ya dad's tool shed
(mista cookie jar) you'll be indiana jones
(greg) you can be my shortround
(mista cookie jar) we'll show the villians how the boys get down
(greg) you can be captain jack sparrow
(mista cookie jar) aaand your peter pan with the most
(greg) little lucas will be munchin on his pirate toast
(mista cookie jar) crunch crunch
(greg) aunt carol's in the back puffin parliaments
(mista cookie jar) now wontcha get ur feet wet while we rebel against parliament
(greg) its elementary, watson
(mista cookie jar) that's whuttup holmes
(greg) praytell, its dinner time
(mista cookie jar) so let's bring it on home

with a world to explore right out your own back door,
there’s no need for sitting on your butts no more,
so go ‘n take a look right out the window of your kitchen,
there’s no need for turning on your television…

with a world to explore right out your own back door,
there’s no need for sitting on your butts no more,
so go ‘n take a look right out the window of your kitchen,
there’s no need for turning on your television…
